I remember one day back in high school when a biology teacher told our class exactly what went into a hot dog. I was apparently the only person in the room who was not surprised. Having made sausage, it didn't (and still doesn't) bother me.

To this day I do not know if the teacher knew that the cafeteria would be serving hot dogs that day, or if it was just a lovely coincidence. I do remember that I was the only person at my table who ate a hot dog. I got great entertainment out of watching the faces of my peers at the table slowly turn white and assorted shades of green.

You're welcome. XD

(Of course, pepperoni ends up being cooked fairly well once it's on a pizza, for example, but if you just slice pepperoni and stick it on a sandwich, technically you're eating cured and dried raw meat.)
